Patented July 7, 1908.

carrying member is adjustably and remvbly secured to the guide rod 2 bymeans of a a clamp which comprises members 7 and 8.

at Sioux Lity, in the county of Woodbury t he clamping members 7 and 8are secured and State of Iowa, have invented new and useful Improvementsin Window -Shade Hangers, of which the tolltm'ing is a spccitication.

My invention relates to shade roller hangers, and its primary object toprovide a devico of this character which' an be readily and quicklyadjusted to permit light and air to enter the room above the shade.

A further objcctot' my invention is to provide a shade roller hangcrwhich is simple,

and which can be manufactured and sold at a comparatively lowcost.

Vith the above 'iind other objects i-i view, the invention consists inthe construction, com bination and arrangement of parts hereinafterfully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing,wherein:

Figure 1 is a front elevation. of a shade roller hanger constructed inaccordance with my invention, the same bcinp illustratcdpin appliedposition. Fig. 2 is a section on the 'lineI2- -i? ot' Fig. 3. Big. 3 arear\ elevation of the shade bracket currying member. Fig. 4 is asection on the line 4- t of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a section on the line ofFig. 3, looking in the direction indicated by the arrow, and Fig. 6 is afragmentary view in, front clcvation ol' thccar rying member and bur.

Referring to the drawing by reference numerals, 2 designates a guide rodwhich is secured to one side of the window casing adjaccnt its uppcrend, and which is spaced therefrom by HH'tLllS of blocks 2. 'lhc .guidcrod is providcd with a centrally located and l ngitudinally extendinggroove 3. A carrying member 4, which consists of strips 4 and 4",,isadjustably inountcd upon the guide rod 2. A bar 5 is rigidly secured atone end to the carrying incmbcr 4, by having the end thereof securedbctwcen the strips 4 and t", said bar bcinp recessed, as at 5, for thereception of the strip 4, as fully disclosed in Fig. 5 ol' the drawing.The strip -l of tho carrying, member is provided on its inner surfacewith n centrally located and longitudinally extending rib 6, which is.adapted to be received by the groove 1- to guide the carrying incmbor inits movement upon the guide rod 2. The

to the inner surface of the strip 4 belowthe being removed bar 5, aportion of the rib 6 to permit the application of said clamping members,which are secured in'applied position by moons of bolts 9 passingthrough slots to therein. transversely of thc' clampingmembers to 1pcrn'iit them to have limited lateral move ments upon the carryingmember. The

outcnedgcs of'thc clamping members are provided with channeled portions11, Wh1chj engage the edges of the rod 2 and adjustably" secure thecarry in; member thereon. The channeled portions of the clarnplngmembers are retained'in frictional engagement with means of a 7 theedges of the guide rod 2 b spring bar 12, which is securet at its upperend to the strip 4, and which passes through perl'oratcd lugs 13 uponthe inner edges of the clamping members. As the clampin nicnibers arcyieldingly retained in frictiona engagement with the guide rod 2, thecarrying member can be freely adjusted thereon and retained in itsadjusted position. A grip i4 is secured to thestrip 4 and provides meansreadily and quickly adjusted through the medium of a pole or the like. Ashade roller brackct'lfi is secured to the strip 4", and a shade rollerbracket 15 is secured to the bar 5 by means of pin and slot connections16,

so that they can bc rcadily adjusted to adapt them for supporting shaderollers of different lengths.

it should be apparent from the above description taken in connectionwith the zic- 5 coinpanying d rawiny, that I provide ashade rollcrhanger whic 1 can be readily and quickly adjustedv to per nit air andlight to enter the room above th. shade.

Changes in the form, proportions and minor details of construction maybemade within the scope of the claims without departing from the s'iiritor sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention,

Having fully described and illustrated my invention, what 1 claim is: 1

1. In a shade roller hanger, the combine tion with a window casing, oi'aguide rod secured to one side of the window casing, and
